Time
flies when you're having fun. A saying I've always found to be true.
I now have less than a month left in Zurich before I finish my year
abroad. I was at home for a little while but I just had to come back
and spend my summer over here – partly because I actually wanted to
have some warm weather (a rare phenomenon in the UK) and also so that
I could start with my reading for next year without the distractions
of home life.

by the Limmat river.
Of
course, I don't plan to spend the whole time here doing something
productive! There are still parties and barbeques going on as well as
the Zurich Street Parade - a crazy music festival (on the 11th)
which transforms the orderly, Swiss city into a huge rave! Best of
all, unlike many things in Switzerland, it's free!
The
pristine Lake Zurich looks rather inviting in hot weather.
Besides,
I can use the odd break, reading my prescribed literature on National
Socialism for the new semester in Aberdeen is only bearable in small
doses. In many respects, this year has been a bit of a break in
general, in anticipation of the hard work waiting for me for honours
the next two years.

I'm
leaving Switzerland on the 14th
of August and I've already had to say goodbye to a few friends. I'm
going to miss this place and the people, all the more reason to come
back here at some point - I'm already looking forward to the ski
season.
